[SOLVED] Best way to monitor PVE node system processes

[Reginald182]

Hello,

We have recently configured a Proxmox cluster and are wanting to monitor these new nodes, specifically the processes that appear under the "System" tab when viewing a node in the web UI. Is there a standard way to get alerts on these services to ensure they are running? Additionally, is there away to list the status of these services in the CLI? We are currently using Sensu to monitor other machines and it would be easy to write a check for these processes if we were able to see their statuses through a terminal window.

Thank you for any and all help regarding this.

The services you see in the GUI under the systems tab are the systemd services relevant for PVE (without the .service suffix)
You can monitor them like any other linux service manged by systemd

I hope this helps!

Awesome thank you! That is exactly what I was looking for and did not know they were just systemd services. Thanks again!
